Filming for the Netflix live-action Assassin’s Creed series is underway in Rome and is nearing wrap as of fall 2026, with Jean Guesdon visiting the set to consult on scripts and meet showrunners.

Award-winning composer Hannah Peel has been tapped to score the series, though no soundtrack details have been released yet.

The series will tell an original story set in the Roman era, featuring a cast that includes Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, Zachary Hart, Laura Marcus, Tanzyn Crawford, Claes Bang, and Nabhaan Rizwan.

Behind-the-scenes imagery shows Jean Guesdon inspecting an on-set build from Ubisoft, signaling significant production scale while details remain under wraps.

Ubisoft released an official update confirming the Netflix collaboration on the Assassin’s Creed TV series, accompanied by a BTS photo from production.

There is no formal release date announced yet for the series, though it has been positioned to align with Ubisoft’s Rome-set storytelling across the franchise.

Ubisoft and Netflix previously indicated the project is set in Ancient Rome, with no premiere window disclosed.

Ubisoft’s Fall 2026 update notes progress and indicates production is very close to wrapping.

Jean Guesdon, Ubisoft’s Head of Content for the franchise, is participating on set alongside Netflix’s team to help shape the series.

Filming is primarily taking place at Cinecittà Studios in Rome, leveraging an expanded Ancient Roman set to recreate the game’s atmosphere.

The show is described as an original story set in the heart of the Roman Empire around 64 AD during Nero’s reign and the Great Fire of Rome, rather than a direct adaptation of a single game.

This Netflix collaboration marks Ubisoft’s second major attempt to bring Assassin’s Creed to screen after the 2016 feature, aiming for a stronger adaptation.
